The Saint Wants to Be a Mama With a Hypnosis App - 22

Chapter 22: Cooking with Mama 2

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

I decided to cook for Sakkun! I never cooked anything in my whole life, but I wholeheartedly believed I did a good job cooking the mysterious mushrooms earlier, so I should be able to cook ordinary meals as well! Besides, I had been watching my mother cook many times at home before. I was fully confident that I would be able to cook well!

Right now, I was on my way to a nearby supermarket with Sakkun. We were walking side by side while holding hands. Sakkun’s hand was so big and warm. Just holding hands with him like this was enough to make me feel so happy!

“What should we buy first?”

“First… I guess we should start with meat!”

We finally arrived at the supermarket. Sakkun asked me to make him hamburg steak. I had no idea on how to make them and I couldn’t look up recipe online since Sakkun was still holding onto my smartphone for some reason. I see… This must be a test. Since I was Sakkun’s Mama, I should be able to make hamburg without looking up the recipe online. That must be why Sakkun hadn’t returned my smartphone to me yet. He wanted to prevent me from looking up recipe online. Of course, as his Mama, it was only natural for me to make him a delicious hamburg! Hamburg steak was a piece of cake! I was Sakkun’s Mama after all! Of course I could make delicious hamburg steak!

And so, the first thing we had to buy was meat. Hamburg steak was made from meat, so I think meat was the most important ingredient in making hamburg. I should be able to make it as long as I had meat. 

“Wow, there are so many different types of meat.”

“Well, of course.”

I was stunned upon reaching the meat section. There were so many kinds of meat! I had no idea which one to buy to make hamburg steak!

“Ah, Seika-chan. They have pre-ground meat for hamburg here.”

He said as he picked up what seemed to be pre-ground meat.

“No, Sakkun. Put that back.”

“Huh? Why?”

“We can’t use pre-ground meat! Pre-ground meat is going to take away the authenticity of Mama’s home cooking!”

“Huh….?”

“Sakkun, Mama won’t allow any compromises when it comes to you! This is Mama’s first homemade meal! There’s no way I can use a shortcut like pre-ground meat?! Mama will make everything from scratch!”

“Mama… Are… Are you sure?”

“Yes! We’ll be just fine! Just leave it to Mama!”

Sakkun put the pre-ground meat back on the shelf hesitantly. He looked a bit uneasy. I wondered why? 

Anyway, although I couldn’t possibly use the pre-ground meat, but I still could use it as a reference. The ground meat looked a bit gross, almost like worms… So this was what hamburg meat looked like. However! Mama already had it figured out! The ground meat would be smashed together and then formed into patties to become hamburg! Mama must be a genius to be able to deduct that much just from looking at the pre-ground meat! In that case, any type of meat would do since we would be squishing the meat together anyway!

“Sakkun, what’s your favorite meat?”

“I guess pork? They’re cheap after all.”

I see. Sakkun liked pork. In that case, I should go with pork. I decided to toss some nice-looking pork into the shopping basket. Oh, this thick-cut bacon looked robust and strong. I wanted Sakkun to grow up strong and robust too. I should get it. Oh! There were sausages too! They reminded me of the mysterious mushrooms! Nice! I liked them! Let’s get the sausages too! Everything would be mixed up anyway, so it should be fine. Ah! I wanted to add Mama’s special ingredient too! I wanted this hamburg steak to be special! This hamburg steak had to make Sakkun remember Mama, so I should add Mama’s special ingredient to it! This would do nicely for the secret ingredient!

Now that we had secured the meat and the secret ingredient, I guess we were all set!

Or so I thought. But I couldn’t help thinking that something was missing. Ah! Yes! I remember hamburg usually had a sunny side up on top! Sometimes they had cheese in the middle too! Ah! I almost forgot about it! Time to buy eggs and cheese too!

Now… We were all set! It was time to head over to the snack section since we already had everything we needed to make hamburg steak.

“You’re going to buy snacks too?”

“…”

“What’s wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?”

“Sakkun, you don’t want any snacks?”

“No, not really. I don’t eat snacks.”

“…”

“Huh? Wha-What’s this? I-I really…”

“Do you really, really not want any snacks?”

“No, I really don’t want any…”

“…”

“…Ah… Ah—! Y-yeah, I guess I want some snacks after all…”

“Is that so?! Good grief, Sakkun! You’re such a handful! But if you insist, then I will buy just one snack for you! Here, Sakkun! Go ahead and pick your favorite snack!”

“…So this is your plan all along…”

“OH! But remember! You mustn’t eat too many snacks before dinner! Otherwise, you won’t have room in your tummy for dinner!”

“Ye-Yes… No, but! I was planning to pay for all the ingredients myself, including the snacks, so…”

“No, no! Mama will pay for them”

“But it feels wrong to have you pay for everything when you’re going to cook for me… And did you even bring your wallet with you? I think you left your bag in my room…”

“Ah…”

I immediately checked my whole body in panic, but I couldn’t find my wallet anywhere. Right… My wallet was in my bag. I…. I couldn’t buy snacks for Sakkun…

“Sorry, Sakkun… Mama forgot her wallet. Mama is a useless Mama. A trash. A useless Mama. A failure. Mama… Mama will go hang myself in my room. Goodbye, Sakkun.”

“WHOA!? Seika-chan?! Please wait! Please don’t say ominous stuff like that! That joke is way too dark! It’s okay! It’s okay!! Mama isn’t trash or useless! Mama is the best! The best Mama for me!”

“Sakkun… Will Sakkun forgive this trashy, useless, self-loathing Mama? This self-deprecative Mama who has nothing good about herself but her boobs?”

“Yeah! I will forgive Mama! In fact, I’m not even mad in the first place!”

“Waaah! Sakkun is such a good kid! I love you! I love you so much! I’m going to give you lots of kisses!”

“Whoa, wait a minute!? We’re in public here—!?”

Overcome with emotion, Seika-chan couldn’t hold back and jumped onto Sakkun, showering him with kisses.
